They also pushed out warnings to tell people to stay away from coastal areas, waterways, cliffs etc. It’s just common sense. Except there’s always one idiot who ignores all the warnings, isn’t there?

Dozens of people took to social media to blast the ‘moron’ for his dangerous stunt and rightly so. People like this aren’t just putting their own lives at risk had it all gone wrong – and it so easily could have – and he needed to be rescued it would also be the life of someone from the Irish Coast Guard in danger.

The storm, which hit Ireland, has brought 80mph winds, grounding flights and knocking out power to around 360,000 according to the BBC.
